This is a fast-paced, high-volume sales environment built for individuals who thrive on activity, accountability, and results. You will manage an existing book of business while actively prospecting, balancing customer retention with new revenue growth. If you are someone who prefers picking up the phone over waiting, enjoys staying busy, and wants to build momentum quickly in a sales career, this role offers a clear path to success. What You Will Do Execute a high volume of outbound and inbound sales activity (50+ calls per day). Manage and grow a book of existing clients with recurring advertising needs.

Use Salesforce and internal tools to track activity, manage pipeline, and maintain organization. Balance prospecting, client communication, and administrative work throughout the day. What It Takes to Succeed This role is built for disciplined, effort-driven sellers who take ownership of their results. Maintain consistent daily activity and intensity, not just occasional bursts. Make 50+ calls per day and sustain a high level of outbound effort. Stay accountable to performance metrics, pacing, and revenue goals. Balance hunting (new business) with farming (client retention and growth). Remain resilient and coachable in a prospecting-heavy environment. Structure your day effectively across outreach, follow-up, and administrative tasks. Push beyond minimum activity when behind pace.
